Ronnie O'Sullivan has seen his fortune rise to £3.7 million, even as he faced an early exit from the World Snooker Championship. The snooker legend's financial success comes as he is backed to continue competing at a high level into his sixties, drawing parallels to golfing icon Tiger Woods.

Despite the disappointment of not progressing further in the tournament, O'Sullivan's financial gains highlight his enduring popularity and marketability in the sport. Barry Hearn, a prominent figure in snooker, continues to support O'Sullivan's potential longevity in the game.
